... it ran out days ago (assuming it didn't implode):

  1. The 96 hours thing comes from the Oceangate website factsheet. Do you think they ACTUALLY tested that by putting five people in it for 96 hours?

  2. Whatever went wrong with the sub (electrical failure, implosion) probably compromised the oxygen supply or made it redundant.

  3. The 96 hours assumes they breathed evenly. Do you think they weren't panicking and trashing and screaming and hyperventilating?

  4. Oxygen is only one part of the problem, the other is dangerous CO2 buildup. These subs have CO2 removal systems that need replacing every 10 hours or so. They would be inhaling dangerous levels of CO2 long before they ran out of oxygen.

They're mega, mega dead.

    US Coast Guard reports that an ROV has found a debris field near the Titanic: https://twitter.com/USCGNortheast/status/1671907901542211584

    Not yet confirmed if it's the Titan, but if it is, lol, lmao. That's what they get for firing the safety guy when he said the sub wasn't safe, dumbasses.

    Update: Coast Guard confirmed it was Titan. Carbon fiber hull catastrophically imploded.

      I would like to take this opportunity to point out that I was right.

      God damn some of those comments are so tongue deep in the boot

      It is, however, significant news how 5 lives were lost specifically regarding a story that’s received this much attention worldwide. Also because, you know, they’re humans. Regardless of reasons we believe they shouldn’t haven taken the risk.

      Hahaha holy shit and they got the fuckin' Blue Check of course cringe
